It's a shame for fans of 'Top Gear', oh Jeremy,Jeremy,Jeremy,Jeremy,Jeremy,Jeremy,Jeremy you silly chap.
He'll never be poor and I'm sure another channel/prog will snap him up.
The question is will Top Gear BBC survive?
The other 2 had said they wouldn't renew if Jeremy went. Will they be true to their words or was that just rhetoric?
They also said they ought to just come over to TG USA, that would be a welcome change, but they'd be hamstrung too much by advertisers.
OR, and here's my favorite, will they all 3 start a new show?
I want my licence fee refunded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sure that the format will be re-invented and turn up somewhere,.... for sure a TG without the personalities is just 5th gear, and look how well
that went,....
Sad day that Clarkson lost it, he has himself to blame for really overstepping the line,.... and in this instance the viewers will be poorer for it...
i always found him to be so far up his own arse to whatch it, just hope they dont sign Mike Brewer.
Oh well, Coming soon:
2 and a half men on Sky
Maximum Overdrive on C4
6th gear on C5
Stig does a jump on Dave.
I don't condone Clarkson's actions, but it sounds like Tymon made a bit of a meal out of the thing (excuse the pun). How many people would feel the need to go to hospital because they'd got a fat lip?
The people with a different sexual orientation to me cow skin clad harp players at the BBC strike again thats how you have to say it nowadays
Jeremy
The range rover haters will finish the BBC off all sorts of other actions could have been taken i agree he had to be brought to book
Best news this year reading the official report he went totally ape sh%t
I once used to love TG, wouldnt miss it for anything. The last couple of years though havent been the same. So all in all, Im not that fussed what happens.
Exactly, and under English law the employer can be held responsible for Clarksons actions, so I doubt anyone else will be too keen to take on someone
who may end up be the cause for getting sued ....
ATB
Simon
shame it wasn't hamster who hit someone ?
But if I was to hit someone at work (a lot do deserve a good punch) I would be sacked, so wether it is right or wrong, then the correct procedure has
taken its toll, and he HAS to walk
but he will bounce back,
Is it a good outcome? No
Is it the right outcome? Yes
(just my opinion on the situation. I'm a fan of TG!)
He also spoke at some meeting last week where he gave his opinion of the BBC bosses in no uncertain terms, including a lot of effing and blinding... he really doesn't want to be re-employed, does he...
i will be holding a 2 min silence for his passing tonight for it is not just Jezza,it is the normal man who tells it like it is that has gone ,the
leftie lovies have had their way and can now replace top gear with yogurt knitting for one legged muslim lesbians.
RIP humour
" yogurt knitting for one legged muslim lesbians."
whens it on ?
I love yogurt

Never mind all this bollox about Jeremy Farage being kicked off TG. What about the real news story of the day... some bloke has left One Direction!
Think I might cry myself to sleep.

I only hope they don't bring back that knobs Quentin he is the pits with his hackneyed stereotyped views
Replace Jeremy et. al. with the likes of Krusty and Phil from a.n.other property porn program, sorted.
Sensible outcome from those that allow and defended the actions of those such as Mr Saville.
I just wish the BBC was pay-for-view, it ran on commercial grounds, instead of a poll-tax/tax-payer/money-printing money tsunami. It's like our
Political Class, Britain, and the EU, it's an outdated historic entity not fit for purpose.
In any other business, if person A has a rant at person B, and it ends up with person A giving person B a fat lip, then person A will get sacked. Why
should JC be treated any differently?
According to a news item I read today, the police are taking an interest...
Just an idea
There seems to be a lot of blame being placed with the BBC for getting rid of him but there is only one person responsible for what has happened...

To be fair he's chinned the bloke and split his lip and was under the influence of alcohol at the time.
If the police investigate and the victim makes a statement, he will end up in court...
To be fair to the BBC what else could they do ? If you have one law for one and one law for another then 'anarchy' is just around the
corner...
Id be interested to see the TG producers salary under william woolard and that of a current TG producer within the current format and factor given
cost of living etc. Im guessing the current TG staff put up with jezzas antics s its a cash cow.
That said, he clocked someone, so hed have to go.
Shall we run a book on how much the licence fee will have to go up over next 5 years when BBC is funded with 2 buttons, some navel fluff and a half
empty pack of wurthers originals?...

Written like a true UKIP voter. Do you have a problem with the disabled, Muslims or lesbians? Equally, regarding 'lefties', do you realise that paid holidays, pensions, sick pay, minimum wage, the NHS, welfare, social housing and a host of other good things are derived from a left of centre position, if not always implemented by a leftist governmen?
Clarkson is a dick. His level of ignorance should come with a warning sign. He doesn't 'say it like it is', I don't even know where people get that from. The character he plays on the show is a total ignoramus, with nothing to be proud of beyond the size of his pay cheque.
Do you really think he can go forward with the BBC after punching a colleague? He's gone. The others will follow, and together they'll make big money fronting another entertainment show. Just don't blame the BBC for the mess the JC got himself into.
From what I've read from people who work on the set, he didn't "chin the guy". There's a big difference between a punch and
a shove or swipe.
Keep in mind Jeremy reported this not the producer and also there's a history here that's not being mentioned.
Apparently the producer has been known to screw things up quite often and this was the latest in a string of things.
James May said this was a lot about a little thing.
When I'm hungry I don't like to be messed with and I'm shorter tempered than anytime else. If he screwed my food up AGAIN, I might be
tempted to do something more drastic than just yelling at him again.
Just had a look through the report findings and it's pretty clear that he's acted like an arsehole bully.

Life is all about cause and affect we need to think about what caused ukip to come into being but be thankfully it can happen in the democracy we have. Clarkson made many comments on top gear both left and right in fact showed nobody any reverence sorry for him he overstepped the mark but probs the right outcome it was work and a big no no
I'm voting ukip... maybe...
Looks to me like he went on and on at the guy them the boss to make sure he got the push.
Did anyone else notice lately him talking like he had someone in his ear telling him not to say that, although with exellent sarcasim.
Hope he bounces back soon with a car roll, I liked his driving, liked the cars, liked his reviews. The format of the show was a bit boring
though..
I've been watching the classic thing with Quinten and Jody on c5 and the new fifth gear. None of them are perfect but Tiiffs getting nutty with
age...

I like TG but wtf? Gets all argy when he doesn't get a steak and smacks someone. Knob. The "I'm a stupid idiot" was a jokey front wasn't it? Someone got too big for his lovey boots. And the program had got really quite predictable. I've been more upset about other programs passing. ...... Perhaps he can be resigned providing he allows anyone here onwards to punch him in the face if they've not been given a steak for dinner. ....

yes i do vote UKIP actually,so do lots of other people from all walks of life,is there a law against it or something ?,i dont have a problem with
"minority groups" as you infer but the likes of the beeb would fill the screens with all sorts of "minorities" just to meet their
quota,a car show is aimed at men therefore should be hosted by men.
as for lefties,they are the ones that shout a lot and if anyone dare dissagree with them,they pull a full pack of ism cards to try and stop the
discent....and breath.

You know you want to click...
The other bloke should have just knocked him out and had done with it.....
Nowt wrong with a bit of UKIP voting, they're the only party talking sense at the moment, the other 3 so called big parties are rather
useless.
As for Clarkson, meh, tired show anyway, just hop BBC let it die as to push on with 3 new bumbling idiots would just be naff and pathetic
It's alright reading a load of nutsack about they will do! I'll be placing my vote by considering what they actually HAVE done instead!
Lol...Dan, if you actually looked at what they have done you wouldn't vote for any of them.
How has this ended up being a political tirade I wonder. Anyway, off to sing the Red Flag outside the stinking Tories head office. Might even sell
some Socialist Worker Magazines. Up the workers!
Let's just stick to the sprinting Jeff unless the government shut all club level Motorsport down!
I've looked at the timing of a few factors, in this whole (or wholly) unneccessary incident.
1: September 2012, JC (and his producer pal, Andy Wilman) sold their share in the rights to the money-spinning creation known as Top Gear.
2: JC's contract with BBC expires around end of either this month, or next.
3: Hammond's and May's contracts also expire around the same time.
There is maybe a suspicion that the reported fracas, at the centre of all this hoo-ha, might have been a deliberate ploy on JC's behalf, to
engineer his own departure.
Either way, JC leaves with loadsa BBC cash in his bank account, and the Beeb with what was a major revenue source for them.
So, the question remains - can TG ever regain its money-spinning status?
Russian State TV have offered JC a job
